Carvan to the Nationals would be great!

Just a small project tonight, I wet sanded, polished, taped and painted the fender vents screens.

I wet sanded from 800 to 3000 then used a small air die grinder with a 3M Roloc pad assembly and a cool 3” foam waffle pad to compound & polish.
Thanks!

Wow - good tips.  You should write a restoration book.
